A NEW CANCER CURE.

Growing interest in cancer cures is stimulating physicians to strenuous efforts to devise a specific remedy against the horrible disease,^and,je^ently Dr. yon Stein, in -Moscow, delivered a lecture on a new method and demonstrated the successful results on patients whom he had treated withApiroloxyne. Dr. yon Stein, states that St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, maintains that in cancer of the throat, ear, nose, and face his remedy, if not altogether infallible,, is; at least a genuine specific and-localisef. Several among the lecturer's colleagues sharply criticised Dr. yon Stein, alleging that he jumped to conclusions.hastily. The action of piroloxyne, they stated, is insufficiently tested, and might possibly cause death* It is certainly harmful to the organism, as it contains pryogallic acid, and cannot be said to destroy or arrest cancer. The discussion ended in the formation of a--commission of bacteriologists, chemists, and physicians for ;fcne purpose of subjecting the whole question to a careful scientific scrutiny.
